Abstract: 3230. BrouquiÞre, E., and Baze, G. Feb. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Ball and float valves check valves; hinged valves; sliding valves; spindles.-In apparatus for discharging ships' ashes, the ashes are filled through a sliding door p, Fig. 1, into a water-tight receptacle a, which can be put into communication through a channel d with the external sea water by means of a hinged float valve g, when the external pressure upon the valve has been balanced by bringing the interior of the receptacle a into communication with a reservoir in the upper part of the vessel. After the ashes have been filled into the receptacle a, the sliding door p is closed by means of a hydraulic piston s, Fig. 3, the cylinder of which is connected by a pipe 16, Fig. 1, to the pipe 13 which communicates with the reservoir in the upper part of the vessel. The receptacle a is then filled with water by opening a cock 4 on a pipe 3 opening into the channel d, and by opening a cock 10 to let out the air. After the closing of these cocks, the valve 14 of the pipe 13 is opened to put the receptacle into communication with the upper part of the vessel. The float valve g can then be readily opened by a cable h connected to a hydraulic piston k, Fig. 5, which is actuated, as soon as the valve 14 is opened, through a pipe 15 connected to the pipe 13 below the valve 14. After discharge of the ashes the valve 14 is closed, and the piston k then descends, the initial movement of the valve g being assisted by the pressure of a spring n on the shoulder o of the valve g, which then floats into the closed position. The sliding door p, Fig. 3, is provided with inclines 2 co-operating with corresponding inclines on the casing to force the door against the lining x, springs v being also provided for this purpose. In order to allow this movement of the door p, the cavity in the door to receive the foot z, Fig. 4, of the actuating-rod q is made larger than the foot z.

Title: Improvements in "Either Side" Brake Mechanism for Railway Wagons.
Inventor: MALLON JAMES
Filed: 1908-08-13
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 17,006. Mallon, J., Walsh, J. B., and Dick, A. F. Aug. 13. Brakes.-To convert an ordinary wagon brake into an "either-side" brake, a right-handed lever is provided on the far side of the wagon and is so connected to the brake lever on the near side that the motions of the two levers are similar; the brake-lever is also rendered self locking. A bar h, having undercut teeth i and a rest j, is mounted near the end of the brake lever b; an additional rest j' may also be provided. The lever b works in a guide l, Figs. 1 and 6, which is pivoted by means of links k, forming a parallel motion, to the bar h; the two links k are preferably formed as bell-cranks having their free ends connected by a link m. A weighted bell-crank n, connected to the guide l by a link o, normally keeps the lever b in engagement with the teeth i or rest j. The lever b is connected by links z<1>, a bell-crank z<2>, and a lever z to a shaft q extending across the vehicle. The other end of the shaft q carries a block s, Fig. 4, about which a lever p is pivoted by means of a pin t. The lever p has a short arm which bears against a plate v, pivoted about a vertical pivot wand having a short lever which is connected to the weighted bell-crank n, Fig. 6, by a cord, chain, or wire y, or by rods and bell-crank levers. Thus an outward movement of the lever p will move the lever b out of engagement with the rack i or rest j, the weighted bell-crank n automatically bringing the lever b into engagement with the rack i when either of the levers b, p is released ; and a vertical movement of the lever p, through the rotation of the shaft q, will cause a corresponding movement of the lever b. The lever p may be made long or short, and its short arm may be hooked to engage both sides of the plate v.
